War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945
by Kit

Thursday, July 8 2004

New Wargame Covers the Entire Pacific War, All Nations, All Campaigns.

Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com) and 2 by 3 games (http://www.2by3games.com) are proud to release the long-awaited War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945 (http://www.warinthepacific.net). Based on the highly acclaimed Uncommon Valor design, this completely new and massive undertaking is the latest game from 2 by 3 Games, which includes Gary Grigsby, Keith Brors and Joel Billings.

The scale of War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-1945 is 60 miles per hex and losses are individual vehicles, aircraft, guns and squads. Since half the planet Earth is covered by the titanic Pacific struggle, the game is massive in scope, covering thousands of ships tens of thousands of aircraft. Virtually every ship, air group and battalion sized or larger troop formation is covered in exacting detail.

While massive, it is designed to be simple to play, as the computer tracks all the factors and the interface allows the player to concern himself with only the degree of detail he prefers. A total of fifteen campaigns are included, ranging from a tutorial scenario and smaller campaign to the largest full campaign. The computer can play against you, or you can play against another human, by e-mail or hotseat. The computer can also be assigned to command some of your forces or to run all of your logistics, freeing you up to focus on the most important strategic choices.

For more information, check the War in the Pacific page at http://www.warinthepacific.net and the main Matrix Games page at http://www.matrixgames.com for future press releases and discussions.
